h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*finds a small Infinite Capacity tupperware box in her backpack and scoops in quite a large amount of fettucine marinara, trying to cut a path through the food, but slowed somewhat by the poor carrying capacity of her plastic spork*
*

You want to try this Lil?

*Takes a brand new Entrenching Tool from his pack and offers it to Lil.*

Was wondering when I might get to used this.

*watches the doings with interest*

Plastic spork Lil ..... not Titanium then ?

Eh - not what?

*listening with interest*

*helps Lil to shovel with the aid of her embossed frying pan*

This might take a while.

Thanks, GDZ!

*finds she is able to scoop greater amounts, but there is still quite a load of congealing fettucini to move*

No problem Lil. Affy, don't you have something that will excavate this?

I've run out of space in my pockets. But look, I found a ticket from what looks like a rock concert that happened here some time ago - "The Scorpions, Tesla, Urgeoverkill, Metallica, Poison, Enya, Danzig Hootoo Tour".

That is quite the line up!

Enya? I haven't heard anything from her for ages.

*still shovelling pasta into Lil's plastic box*

*Pokes at the fettucine with his cane.*

This reminds me of those beaded curtains that hippies used to hang in doorways in the 60's and 70's. Except thicker. And glueier. And with more sauce.

At least it's cooked al dante. Nothing worse than overcooked pasta. Although, I suppose, it might have been easier to get pasta it, if it had been.

*Suddenly, with a loud sucking sound, the fettucine is pushed forward and to the side to reveal a pair of securitybots, CLI logos on their chests*

*one of the bots puts down the leafblower sort of thing that was used to move the fettucine; both beckon urgently for the salonistas to come forward through the door*

*behind the bots can be seen a tiled corridor, softly lit with amber lighting, with another door at the end*

*in front of the door stands Chesworth, who utters one word*

Hurry!

*Jumps back, startled.*

Chesworth, you startled me. I thought we programmed you to never...

Chesworth? Woo hoo! I'm glad we found you. Come on, everyone - I'm sure Chesworth knows what she is doing.

*Rushes through the doorway.*

*rushes through following Garius, slipping and sliding on stray bits of Fettuccine*

*puts her shovel away and follows Red Dog*

*quickly snaps the tupperware shut and stows it in her pack as she struggles to move out of the knee-deep morass*

Dang! This stuff can NOT be good for cowboy boots!

*hustles through the doorway right on the heels of Caer*

Chesworth, it is great to see you!

*Runs through and gets halfway to the other door before looking back at the fettucune left behind*

Not even the Oissot spell would fix that when there's so much missing....and the Vorzer spell only works if it's an actual door....KREBF!

*Affy continues running as the willfull damage done to the door is repaired*

*Follows hurriedly*

*as the salonistas leave the moshe pitte, one of the bots goes to a far wall and quickly installs a large orange button between two of the speakers, then smears it with dirt and drapes it with cobwebs*

*After completing this task, the bot joins its partner in restoring the door, and waits for the rest of the posse to pass through before securing it from the inside*

*Chesworth opens the door behind her and gestures for everyone to follow her through into another similar corridor*
